Building Information Modeling Our capabilities for holistic collaboration and building-wide coordination are enhanced through the use of new technologies and processes. The use of 2D, 3D, and 4D technologies supports our commitment to team integration, participation, and efficient solutions. Employing our expertise with BIM techniques early in the design phase will ensure successful coordination of systems and structure in all phases of construction, from the underground structure to the roof.

Modular Innovation At Holgate House in southeast Portland, WALSH piloted the use of an innovative modular building project. The $1.3M project’s nine finished units were prefabricated before arriving onsite. Utilizing modular technology can potentially save money by shortening the overall schedule because the site can be prepared simultaneously with construction of the modular units. In addition to saving time and money, moisture control and factory-built precision are other benefits of modular construction.

Infrared/Thermographic Imaging To meet our client’s goal of creating more energy efficient buildings, WALSH brings to the table cost effective solutions to drive down energy consumption. IR imaging works by creating a visual display of the infrared energy of objects – it shows what’s hot and what’s cold. In fact, the IR camera is so sensitive that it can display differences in temperature of a fraction of a degree. Eliminating air leakage is one of the most cost-effective strategies to drive down energy costs and create better indoor air quality. IR imaging helps us know where we need to control air flow.
